Conection failed when on "service" only: so this needs to be resolved, i'm not the only one

Scanning files:
You do not need to scan files on each start-up.
My setting: options / library / file monitor / (define folders to scan) scan continuously (but NOT on start-up!).
When you add new files MM has to be running, then all new files will be added to library.

I kept trying, in the end, I gave up and just left MM running in the background, it was more trouble than it was worth for now.

When MMW started, under windows/services the MMservice is "stopped": now MMserver is visible on upnp.
When MMW closed, under windows/services the MMservice changes to "started/running": but MMserver does NOT appear.

@peke: Thanks, but still no success.

Port was at: 53951, changed to: 5000 & 6000.

When MMW started, under windows/services the MMservice is "stopped": now MMserver is visible on upnp.When MMW closed, under windows/services the MMservice changes to "started/running": but MMserver does NOT appear.

1. Uninstall service
2. Make sure it is not listed under windows services
3. Make sure that MMW server is still seen when started
4. Restart Windows
5. Start MMW
6. Install service
7. Check if service is seen now
8. Restart Windows

if that do not help repeat all but as step 5a. Change MMW Server Port

Let us know the result.

On my PC i am the only 1 user logged in as admin, there are no others.

The VLC media player on my PC is a dlna client and it behaves the same way under its upnp sources:
- MMW startet: MM server and its shared content visible
- MMW closed: MM server disappears and does not reappear (but as said above: under task manager "MMservice.exe + MM (32bit)" are still there

But the internal windows 10 media server is always visible on my PC and on android.

When i close MMW, "MM server" disappears and does not reappear even after a longer time of serveral minutes, not in MMA and not in BubbleUpnp. Also restarting MMA/bubbleupnp does not solve that.

What's strange: in both bubbleupnp and MMA the "MMW player" on the PC appears as a renderer when i want to cast a song. Which of course cannot be played because MM on the PC is not running.
